What Is It Wednesday --- The Phone Call

THIS WEEKS QUESTION:
Wes has two daughters. One lives in Ocean City NJ on the east coast. The other lives in San Diego on the west coast. Both of them love going to the beach. When they talk on the phone, they always have a 3-hour time difference (eastern standard time vs. pacific time since they live on opposite coasts). However, one day his daughters were both at the beach (one literally standing on the west coast and staring at the Pacific ocean, the other literally standing on the east coast and staring at the Atlantic ocean) and talking to each other on the phone when they suddenly realized it was 2:00pm for both of them. How?
--------------
This is based on a true story from one of my friends (though I changed it slightly), and there are no "trick answers"...this really happened...Jen, you are banned from the question this week since you heard about it.

Could they have both been vacationing in Cape Horn at the tip of South America?

Maybe they were visiting Mount Izaru in Costa Rica.
